G When you were born C I held you in my arms          G And I knew love                        D Like never before G When you learned to walk C You came with arms held high    G I picked you up                                    D And I held you so tight G If I shed a tear C Every time I think of you G I could swim so far, so far away                                C In the stream I’d leave behind When you were young I watched you grow As you shared your love I saw your heart shine so bright When the teenage years came We lived like foes and fought so fast As our different worlds clashed with every word G If I shed a tear C Every time I think of you G I could swim so far, so far away                                C In the stream I’d leave behind Now you are grown And years have passed There are many miles Many miles between us Yet I love you so Just like years ago When you first appeared As a newborn helpless child G If I shed a tear C Every time I think of you G I could swim so far, so far away                                C In the stream I’d leave behind
